70s/80s US-Made Wool Cardigan

Well butter my biscuit, here’s a Pendleton that’ll keep you cozy and sharp all at once. This vintage Made in U.S.A. wool cardigan hails from the late ‘70s into the ‘80s, back when Pendleton was turning out some mighty fine knitwear stateside.

Crafted from 100% virgin wool, this fella comes in a heathered gray with a subtle textured pattern, and it’s trimmed with ribbed cuffs and hem for that snug, keep-the-draft-out fit. The leather-button-front closure and two front pockets give it that easy cardigan charm—perfect for layering when there’s a nip in the air.

Condition’s solid as a fence post, with no flaws. It’s hard to believe it’s about 50 years old!
